Advances of theory and an increase of computational performances have contributed to a considerable democratization of ab initio modeling ; several academic and commercial codes are available, their usage increases exponentially, and researchers become more and more aware of advantages of computational modeling. On the one hand, ab initio methods have become an essential tool for analysis and interpretation of experimental data. On the other hand, their predictive capacities make them an actual “computer experiment”, able to identify microscopic mechanisms underlying studied properties and phenomena.
The proposed option is divided into three equal parts : lectures, practical exercises, and mini-projects. The lectures give a general overview of ab initio approaches, a short summary of the underlying approximations, and an illustration of their strengths and weaknesses for different types of applications. The practical exercises employ one of the most popular research ab initio software packages to construct computational models and to produce valid and well converged results. They prepare for the personal mini-projects, to be completed during the last three classes.
The option is open to all ; no background in programming is required.
